Your Opinions Please. Rear Fog Red vs Black
 

Hey guys, I just finished up painting my rear valence and now I need some help with a decision. Should I keep the fog light red or tint it black? The pic below shows the fog light installed vs the dummy plug to give you an idea.

Thanks for opinions.

red. if it's functional keep it functional. :)

I referenced a few posts with tinted tails and believe that tinting it shouldn't cause any issues with light output. Agree/disagree?

keep it red

CBRich- depending on the tint it can lose quite a bit of brightness...

Thanks kenchan, I'll definitely have to take that into consideration.

Meh, I never got as wound up as most people about the butthole. Mine is black, which compliments the white IMHO, so I leave it alone. But if it were red, it wouldn't be a big enough deal for me to do anything either.

Red I guess

Why oh why can't someone make a diffuser that eliminates the damn thing altogether??

Thanks for the opinions everybody. I was personally leaning towards red and it seems to get the popular vote here. So I've gone ahead and installed it. Looks pretty sharp and I don't have to waste a few hours today painting it. Thanks again.

Disagree. Tint ALWAYS reduces the light output. Either that or someone has figured out a way to overcome the laws of physics.
I like the red anyway. Which light did you buy?

:iagree:

Which light?

Red, for safety.

Function or non-function, which one would you rather have? (should be easy) ;)

Is that light even legal to have in the US? :confused:

Although I think it looks cool in red, I'm content to leave mine black.

Of course it is legal, why would it not be? Alot of people with trucks buy the red light for there rear hitch. It's not like blue, purple, etc...

Then why not an option on USDM vehicles? :confused:

A +1 for you, Sir

Well besides money, there is no need for an extra light in the rear in the U.S. But overseas in Europe & Japan for example they need that extra foglight so it comes standard on the car. It's just another quark like how they have rear windshield wipers(thank god) and we don't.

It is the law in many foreign countries. If it was the law here, it would be on the car.
Also, it not illegal in the U.S., unless it's flashing.
Personally, I think it's a great idea. When you're in a heavy fog, it's hard to see a lot of tail lights. Getting the light down lower improves visibility greatly. It'll probably be my next mod once the temperatures outside drop below the boiling point. :stirthepot:
